This man’s books were a favorite of our teacher Roxie Johnston. She read aloud after lunch. And we imagined the Western scenes.

Born January 31, 1872 Zane Grey practiced dentistry by day and wrote Western adventure stories in the evening with the support and editing skills of his wife Dolly. His best-selling “Riders of the Purple Sage” was published in 1912. Over a hundred of his books and stories were made into Western films or television episodes.

Miss Roxie Johnston always read this book to us every year: Girl of the Limberlost. She loved novels. And this one was about nature.

Despite her fame, you wouldn't know about this beloved writer unless you visit the vanishing Midwestern landscape she helped save
